To many, a London chauffeur is there to simply ferry passengers around in a luxury car. They don’t realise that the duties of a chauffeur in London are actually far more extensive. On this page, we’ll let you know exactly what our chauffeurs in London do on a typical journey, from pick-up to drop-off.

Route Planning

A top chauffeur will always have a plan, as well as a backup plan. Before they arrive, they’ll always have a route selected, plus they’ll have another option for when traffic is unexpectedly heavy – something that London executive chauffeurs regularly have to deal with.

Greeting and Assisting Passengers

When one of our London executive chauffeurs arrives at the pick-up point, their role is to welcome the passengers and then assist them in any way possible. They’ll take all luggage and safely store it away and can also provide a helping hand into the vehicle for those who need it.

Chauffeuring Passengers

The chauffeur then does their main duty – transporting their passengers throughout London in the ultimate comfort and style. During the journey, our chauffeurs will remain respectful of your privacy, but they’ll also ensure they update you with any information they deem important, such as a change in route or difficulties with traffic.

During the journey, the chauffeur won’t just follow a GPS, but will also use their extensive knowledge of London and the surrounding area to make on-the-spot decisions about the route. This flexibility ensures the journey is as smooth as possible and allows them to negotiate around traffic with ease.

If you’re taking a chauffeur driven sightseeing tour of London, you’ll also find that your chauffeur can point out important landmarks and significant locations. If you’d rather a quieter journey, just inform the chauffeur, and they’ll leave you to enjoy London in peace.

Arriving at Your Destination

When you arrive at your destination, your chauffeur will be sure to park as close as possible, to minimise inconvenience. They will then remove any luggage for you, before opening the door and thanking you for your custom.

If you decide that you’d like to book a return journey with our chauffeur service in London, just inform the driver. They can then update the office and ensure you’re chauffeur driven back to wherever you need to be.

Vehicle Maintenance

Once the chauffeur has dropped you off at your location, they’ll find a quiet place to park, and will then get to work cleaning the vehicle. They’ll buff the outside and remove any dirt or marks, as well as thoroughly clean the interior of the vehicle, to create a spotless environment and mitigate against the risks of Covid.

Once they’ve finished cleaning, they’ll head off to their next client, ready to give them the same high level of service they’ve just provided for you.

So, that’s a brief glimpse into how hard our chauffeurs in London work to give you the perfect journey. If you’d like to book a journey with our chauffeur service in London, please don’t hesitate to call or email us today.
